LPT A glass of wine before going to bed is far healthier. Don't take sleeping pills.

Studies show there is no amount of alcohol that is healthy.

Also alcohol interferes with sleep. So it's actually bad to use alcohol as a sleep aid, since it reduces the quality of sleep.

Sleep is completely different than just being unconscious. In some stages of sleep your brain is more active than when you are awake, so taking a depressant which reduces brain activity negatively interferes with sleep.

Neither are good, both are depressants and have a negative impact on sleep.

CBT is the go to treatment and has the best results compared to sleeping pills.
